Anytime Fitness, which boasts 1,689 clubs in North America, makes it easier for average folks to etch out time for exercise by doing one simple thing: staying open 24 hours a day for 365 days a year. As fitness seekers challenge themselves on cardio and Hammer Strength machines and hoist Iron Grip free weights in clean, well-stocked facilities, security monitoring ensures they’re safe and producing enough sweat to meet official government standards. Members can also ramp up their exercise regimens with the help of Anytime Fitness’s staff of personal trainers, who demonstrate moves and sling motivating tips. After workouts, guests can shower in the private restrooms or hop into one of the tanning booths available 24 hours a day.

Owned and operated by Dr. Ronald J. Kolegraff, re*be is one of the most credentialed clinics in Iowa, specializing in vein treatments, skin surgeries, and cosmetic procedures. Treating varicose and spider veins with sclerotherapy, Dr. Kolegraff employs one of a variety of techniques best suited for the patient and the severity of vein problems, helping limbs look refreshed and ready for lederhosen season. Damaged veins will be injected with sodium tetradecyl sulfate, which makes the veins collapse or clot and then retreat from public life on the skin's surface. There are few restrictions on patients after the procedure, so three-legged races and leapfrog contests are encouraged.

The history of golf in Spencer dates back more than a century, to a time when enthusiasts used buried tin cans for cups and grazing sheep as on-course spectators. Today's game would look remarkably different to Spencer's earliest players, as the Spencer Municipal Golf Course is now an 18-hole, par-72 facility with four tee options and no sheep to be found. From the back tees, golfers face a 6,809-yard layout fraught with 34 sand traps and a smattering of water hazards that can only be avoided with strategically-placed shots or by drinking all the water beforehand.

Lake Creek Country Club's expansive 18-hole course tests golfers' ability to read the winds as they navigate 6,813 yards of verdant acreage. For instance, wind from the south can complicate the par-4 11th hole, coaxing airborne balls leftward and out of bounds along a fairway that's more navigable on calmer days. Aside from weather conditions or a friend who keeps kicking the ball off the tee, golfers face challenges such as the 7th hole's 540-yard stretch that doglegs left and hinges on a solid tee shot to establish favorable position.

Adrian Country Club's course features nine holes?a majority presenting long and narrow fairways?while some curl devilishly around the edge of a water trap. Regardless of shape or length, each hole boasts two sets of tees that offer varying angles and challenges, so the course can be played through twice for a full 18-hole outing. Before, after, or between rounds of golf, the clubhouse provides a charming spot in which to rest and appreciate the beauty of the rolling green grass and ponds (as opposed to the challenges they present). "We have a beautiful deck that overlooks the course," notes the manager, offering it as a place to recuperate after a game or practice your Statler and Waldorf impression with a friend.
